This time, I am addressing the one and only Joss Whedon, creator of such incredible programming as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse, as well as the man behind the Avengers films (to name but a few of his incredible accomplishments.)

No, seriously. That’s what this episode is called. Don’t look at me, I don’t make these things up. I just do what I’m told. And to be honest, I’m not getting paid enough to take this kind of abuse. But that’s beside the point. What is this week’s episode about, you ask? Hold on… I […]

The boys get into some pretty heady, philosophical debates this week, concerning the right of the fan towards art.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiered on Tuesday, and it was the strongest debut for a scripted drama in years. On the other hand, Jim Steranko (a highly respected writer/artist whose groundbreaking 1967-68 run on Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. is the stuff of comic book history and a huge part of the reason we’re watching […]

J and Brian try to figure out whatever happened to the tomorrow of yesterday — does today’s science fiction rely too much on the future as it was imagined in the 1940s and ’50s? Whoa, heavy stuff.
